Mapping Protocol
****************

See also "PyObject_GetItem()", "PyObject_SetItem()" and
"PyObject_DelItem()".

int PyMapping_Check(PyObject *o)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Return "1" if the object provides the mapping protocol or supports
   slicing, and "0" otherwise.  Note that it returns "1" for Python
   classes with a "__getitem__()" method, since in general it is
   impossible to determine what type of keys the class supports. This
   function always succeeds.

Py_ssize_t PyMapping_Size(PyObject *o)
Py_ssize_t PyMapping_Length(PyObject *o)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Returns the number of keys in object *o* on success, and "-1" on
   failure. This is equivalent to the Python expression "len(o)".

PyObject *PyMapping_GetItemString(PyObject *o, const char *key)
    *Return value: New reference.** Part of the Stable ABI.*

   This is the same as "PyObject_GetItem()", but *key* is specified as
   a const char* UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a PyObject*.

int PyMapping_SetItemString(PyObject *o, const char *key, PyObject *v)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   This is the same as "PyObject_SetItem()", but *key* is specified as
   a const char* UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a PyObject*.

int PyMapping_DelItem(PyObject *o, PyObject *key)

   This is an alias of "PyObject_DelItem()".

int PyMapping_DelItemString(PyObject *o, const char *key)

   This is the same as "PyObject_DelItem()", but *key* is specified as
   a const char* UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a PyObject*.

int PyMapping_HasKey(PyObject *o, PyObject *key)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Return "1" if the mapping object has the key *key* and "0"
   otherwise. This is equivalent to the Python expression "key in o".
   This function always succeeds.

   Nota:

     Exceptions which occur when this calls "__getitem__()" method are
     silently ignored. For proper error handling, use
     "PyObject_GetItem()" instead.

int PyMapping_HasKeyString(PyObject *o, const char *key)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   This is the same as "PyMapping_HasKey()", but *key* is specified as
   a const char* UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a PyObject*.

   Nota:

     Exceptions that occur when this calls "__getitem__()" method or
     while creating the temporary "str" object are silently ignored.
     For proper error handling, use "PyMapping_GetItemString()"
     instead.

PyObject *PyMapping_Keys(PyObject *o)
    *Return value: New reference.** Part of the Stable ABI.*

   On success, return a list of the keys in object *o*.  On failure,
   return "NULL".

   Cambiato nella versione 3.7: Previously, the function returned a
   list or a tuple.

PyObject *PyMapping_Values(PyObject *o)
    *Return value: New reference.** Part of the Stable ABI.*

   On success, return a list of the values in object *o*.  On failure,
   return "NULL".

   Cambiato nella versione 3.7: Previously, the function returned a
   list or a tuple.

PyObject *PyMapping_Items(PyObject *o)
    *Return value: New reference.** Part of the Stable ABI.*

   On success, return a list of the items in object *o*, where each
   item is a tuple containing a key-value pair.  On failure, return
   "NULL".

   Cambiato nella versione 3.7: Previously, the function returned a
   list or a tuple.
